The mobile unit significantly expands the blood bank’s ability to take in donors, which is essential with Cayman’s rapidly growing population.

MP: Some HSA board members paid more than medical professionals
Payments to Health Services Authority board members have increased tenfold with some directors now earning more than full-time medical professionals, MPs were told at a Finance Committee hearing Friday.
Independent legislator Chris Saunders said the total annual payments to board members have increased from just under $19,000 in 2016 to more than $250,000 in 2023.
He said, “Some board members are going home with eight or $9,000 per month. Some staff members aren’t even making anything close to that.”
